August 2014 The Occupational Therapist of a 30 year old lady who has a severe and profound learning disability applied to us for help to fund a new specialist seating system for her. The lady uses a moulded wheelchair at all times to provide enhanced postural support and it was felt that an updated alternative system would make a significant contribution to her general health and well being. Additionally, the advanced system will enable her to engage in a range of sensory activities and social interactions with care providers, family members and peers. ACT's £950 pledge, together with the other charitable pledges they have received, will enable them to get this vital piece of equipment.
July 2014 The mother of a 5 year old boy with a diagnosis of autism and severe learning disabilities applied to us for help to fund a specialist "tough" bed. The little boy struggles to understand that he must not jump on his bed and has unfortunately broken his previous beds and has had long periods where he has not had his own to sleep in which disrupts his and the rest of the family's routines. ACT were pleased to be able to help with a £400 donation towards a specialist tough bed which will be more robust and hopefully solve the problem.
July 2014 Homelink is a registered charity started in 1997 by people in the community in Whitton, West London, because there was a need for somewhere local to look after older people with mental health and other issues while carers and families had a break from their caring duties. Today they provide 128 specialist day care places. They are now building a new, purpose-built, two storey centre on the same site as their current building and their application to ACT was for help towards furnishings and equipment. ACT were delighted to be able to make a £2,000 pledge.
